Women Over Dinner
A movement of dinners built on a radical notion — that women have inestimable power. Tables gather in Harlem, on the land, and across the country, in honor of the women of the carceral system and of every woman who has been given the crumbs.

Reflections
“To sit here in beautiful company and not have the cattiness, but just have women listening to each other. I genuinely want to get to know you. You fed my soul.” — Skip
“I'm someone who struggles with connection, so of course I had apprehensions about coming. Now that I'm here, I feel the connection in this room.” — Sharon
“I'm going to be 74 years old, and I thought this would be a bunch of young influencers who wouldn't want to hear what I have to say. These ladies completely blew me away.” — Jillian
How Women Over Dinner came to be
The dinners started when founder Nicole Daedone wrote a women's manifesto and shared it with her friend Angel Grant, who had started Death Over Dinner and helped more than 200,000 of those dinners happen around the world.
Moved by a manifesto that opened with the claim that women have inestimable power, Angel offered the rights to the Death Over Dinner process so it could be adapted for women. Nicole said yes immediately.
Women and food and love, they aren't separate things — they are all of a piece. A women's movement grounded in fulfillment rather than rights is built out of spontaneous connection and intimacy between women, one table at a time.
